Nope. Been through and done all that already. It's debian, so by default stuff ends up in /usr/share/misc/files. I've tried copying stuff out from this to /etc/magic and using the second argument to point to the relevant magic.mime files in /usr/share/... but still nothing. Like I say, permissions and all the obvious junk seems right and has been double checked - it just doesn't like my copy of the magic file. I should point out that I have exactly this same issue with mime_magic extension as well, where it says that the magic file is invalid. Cheers
